This Weapon is Your Life

I sit here on my bed after a long day at school. Wrote a math test, did some studying for my next midterm (I might do a lot of studying on the weekend for it since it's on Monday morning first thing, and no I am not a procrastinator) but remember when I said I was getting something big?

Well you're in for a treat tonight! Late Tuesday night when I got home from the Tove Lo concert my mom and I went to, (I needed a night out anyway and she's one of my new favourite pop artists, great show, danced and sang all night) I came back to my bedroom to find a nice long package lying on my bed. Well, I think this is better expressed in a picture of what it is:

My beautiful new toy. That's right, I finally got a lightsaber, in fact I've been wanting one since I was little but I never spent my allowance on any of the guy-stuff I liked back then. Instead I would buy girlie shit. But seriously, whether you're 6, 15, 25, 45, or 55+ if you're a Star Wars fan, get a lightsaber and get it from Ultrasabers. That is where I got this baby.

I had seen many advertisements for Ultrasabers on almost every website I visited. Hell there have a few times when I've gone onto a few medical websites to do my homework and more ads of it were there. At first I was intrigued and finally got around to visiting the website to see what they had. This isn't cheap plastic shit from Hasbro, this is the real deal! I spent my study breaks in the beginning of this month browsing options, reviews and what the company was like. You know, if you want something that you've wanted for years, but want it to last, be sure to get it from a place that has an excellent reputation and that's just what Ultrasabers has. So after a long debate and looking at my financial situation, I decided to buy one of the standard editions with sound (and c'mon you gotta have sound because without that, it doesn't feel like a lightsaber, it's just another glowstick you can get anywhere), and a green blade. I've always wanted a green one.

Honestly, it looks so realistic and I love it.

So yesterday I took it out of the package, turned it on in the living room and swung it around for a few minutes before leaving for the train station to go to school. Both of my cats were in the living room and as soon as they heard the sound of it, they both freaked out and stared at me like "What on Earth is that?" One of my cats named Luke is known to freak out over every abnormal sound in the house. My other cat Mianna just doesn't mind as much.

I managed to squeeze in the time to take that picture above but just one for now. When I get a chance to catch my breath from my college workload, I will definitely take more pictures of myself with it. I also definitely plan to go to Fan Expo next year as my SW OC now that I've got everything I need, and hey if I'm bored and feel like playing pretend when no one's around, I'll just take it out, swing it and take pictures with it. Just for the hell of it you know?

I think I'll do a more extended review of my lightsaber in a later entry once I have a chance to take some more pictures.

Alright, so after spending a fine evening listening to The Last Stand, I have to say I was not disappointed from start to finish.

It's been a while since I've done an album review so I thought why not write one for Sabaton's new album?

Just like previous reviews I have done, this one is just going to be based on the music. I would have to do a ton of research if I wanted to go into detail about the story each of these songs tell, and frankly I don't feel motivated to do that for an album review when I like to talk about the music itself. But, when the time comes to feature a song from this album for Metal Monday, then I'll go into depth about the story behind the song as well!

I always believed they would come back, and they did. Last summer Sabaton suddenly came back into my life when they announced a new album. The first single was released and that was my jam from June to late August. I don't know what it was, but somehow that was the summer I became a more devoted fan and eventually they entered deeper into my heart. Thus, my love for power metal has been significantly high.

So, I told myself that one day they will return soon, and this time I would be ready. Last night, I certainly was ready, and went to hell and back with no regrets.

I felt like I was the only person who wore full Sabaton gear. Nobody else at the venue seemed to be wearing the pants or the wristband. But I got a few compliments that I looked like one of them!
It was raining hard when we arrived at the venue and stood behind the sound system again. Due to it being a sold out show and late arrival, I had no interest in going to the floor. Large crowds spell bad news if you're no…

At last, after five years of long waiting for an event I thought would never come, it has finally happened! Last night was the most epic night of my life, the most epic of all the concerts I've been to. Lordi was amazing beyond words and that makes the entire wait worth it. At last I can check off the top item on my bucket list.

So, how was it? I went out of my way to prepare for this concert, even if it meant getting ready and eating early so that nothing would come up to distract me, and that's what I always seem to do when I attend concerts that are general admission for everyone.

We arrived at The Opera House at a reasonable time and surprisingly there was no lineup except a few people hanging outside the doors, so we stood near them chatting for hours until it was time for all VIP attendees to go inside. While most people went for the merchandise stand, I bolted straight for the stage, propped myself up in front center against the railing. I did not budge for the rest of …

I'm a passionate writer about all that I love and I like to be a different character from time to time. I also have a vivid imagination and I do what makes me happy. If other people like it, that's a plus.
